Last time I wrote about some games under the titled "Reminiscent". Today, I shall display a few games of me against some of the local bloggers whom I used to have encounter across the board.

Some of the active chess bloggers I had met over the board are:

1. IM Jimmy Liew (2 times) - Won 1 (a lucky win) and Lost 1

2. Hairulov (Hairul Hamid)- I had played many times but only 2 were official games; so, I won 1 game and Drew 1 game

3. The tricky Chess Oddyssey (Nor Illhamudin Sh Ali) I met 3 times Drew our very first meeting (Inter matrics 91) Lost at Royal Selangor (I think 93 or 94) and I won at NC2001

4. Against Bad Bishop (Norazlin Juarih) I won 2 out of two

5. Against Naserov, we drew in our 1st encounter at MAKSAK Negeri Sembilan 2002, but I lost to him in MAKSAK Kuching 2003. Only in 2009 I managed to defeat him (only 14 moves were played) t and 2011 was again a victory for me

6. Against Samsol Bahrin, bad record one defeat at Seremban Parade (I think 2007) and a draw in one of Selangor's open

7. Against Andrew - as far as I remeber not yet any encounter.

8. Against My Chess Life's author, Azizul of course I had met him hundreds or so time, but the official were the 1st at IIUM closed 1996 I lost, IIUM closed1997 mamnged to get a revenge. In one small tournament under the Dataran I won. and the most recent in IIUM 2007 (if not mistaken) a fierce and hair raising encounter had took place between us. In one of allegro, we had been paired but my friend here let me had the point as he had to return to his hometown as he received the news that his uncle passed away.

9. Pengurusan Ar Rahman - Syazrin Abd Rahman, I won both our games in Royal Selangor 2005 and 2007.

10. Against Ng6 I had never officially met him accross the board

11. Against Firey Rook, I had met him in an encounter which ended in my favour.
12. Against Catur Setia Kuantan, I defeated her in our single encounter, so far.

Some of the games had actually been posted in this blog, therefore I shall try to refrain myself from repeating the games I had published.

In the above game, there are 2 parts that can be related to the topic sentence of 'reminiscent';-

the first is reminiscent of "Slaying The Dragon" technique particularly recently in my game against Abdullah Che Hassan. The second part is related to the theme "pawn is a pawn is a pawn..." or in MAKSWIP team camp known as "pawn Rizal".
